Music to My Ears

We have been working hard this summer to work intensively with Brandt on a variety of physical, verbal, and cognitive skills.

Because Brandt has a pretty distinct developmental delay, his daycare did not see him fit to advance to the one-year-old classroom at his birthday. I made it my personal mission to make this happen, so I set some summer goals for Brandt. He has not mastered all of them yet, but he has come a long way.

Today, during Brandt's physical therapy, I asked the therapist if she thought he was ready to safely transition to the one-year-old class, and she felt very confident in his abilities. She noted that she has seen significant growth in his strength and balance development over the past few weeks.

After the physical therapist left, I went over to Brandt's daycare and met with the director. I outlined all the growth he had made while spending the summer at home with me, and Brandt demonstrated his abilities. She told me that Brandt's teachers had reported similar growth, and she felt that Brandt would be much more successful and challenged in the one-year-old room. It was music to my ears. So, beginning next Monday, Brandt will no longer be in the infant room!!!

I'm so thrilled and overjoyed that he will finally be with the toddlers. He will learn so much more seeing how they move and interact, and he will be challenged by the many foam obstacles throughout the room. This is a great move, and I'm thrilled we made it here by the end of the summer. God is good!
